Shop With A Cop Event Brings Big Smiles to Ashland County Children

 

Ashland, OH – Local law enforcement agencies in Ashland County are gearing up for the annual “Shop With A Cop” event, a holiday tradition that helps spread Christmas cheer to children in need across the community. Ashland Division of Police Detective Kara Pearce announced the dates for both the Shop With A Cop event and the popular silent auction fundraiser that supports it.

The silent auction will be held on November 17, 2024, from 1 PM to 4 PM at O’Bryan’s Pub, 1065 Claremont Avenue. Guests can participate in bidding wars for items generously donated by local businesses and community members—all for a great cause. As a bonus, attendees can catch the Cleveland Browns game on the big screen while bidding and supporting a beloved community event.

Then, in December 2024, officers from several local law enforcement agencies will gather at the Ashland Wal-Mart to accompany children on their holiday shopping sprees. Officers from the Ashland Division of Police, Ashland Sheriff’s Office, Ohio Highway Patrol, Mifflin Police, Loudonville Police, and Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District Rangers, along with Ashland County First Responders, like Ashland Fire Department & EMS and Dispatchers will be on hand, making sure each child has an unforgettable holiday experience.

Detective Pearce shared her enthusiasm for the event, saying, “Our silent auction is on November 17th, and the shopping event will be in December this year, we’ll be spacing out times for the children to make sure everyone has a memorable and comfortable experience.” She emphasized that the officers and community members involved are excited to make this holiday season special for each child.

The annual Shop With A Cop event is a cherished local tradition, one that brightens the holidays for families and fosters connections between law enforcement and the community. This is truly one of the most anticipated events of the year in Ashland County, bringing warmth, joy, and countless smiles to those who need it most.
